What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo retains an architecture suited to the vehicle in question whilst incorporating internal modifications. Depending on the upgrade stage, these may involve the compressor wheel, the housings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing and balancing.

The aim is d to adapt the turbocharger’s compression capacity and air flow rate d. A hybrid turbo is therefore not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel, but by the consistency of its geometry and mechanical modifications.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or ‘ Performance ’?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This technology primarily describes a manufacturing process and does not, on its own, guarantee an increase in air flow d.

A standard MFS impeller may retain a geometry equivalent to that of the original d. A Performance MFS impeller may adopt a geometry adapted to the modification, for example in terms of the profile, height, width or diameter of the blades, provided these modifications are documented.

A standard MFS impeller can be just as glossy as an MFS impeller Performance. It is not its appearance that determines its performance, but its geometry and its ability to move more d'air. The impeller described here is made of forged aluminium; it is lighter, larger and taller than the d'original, with a claimed 15 per cent increase in compression capacity.

Why does the geometry of the blades influence the air flow rate d?

The compressor impeller draws in and then compresses the air sent to the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and the arrangement of its blades influence its aerodynamic behaviour. A suitable geometry can move more d air under certain conditions, but the result also depends on the casings, the turbine, the boost pressure and the engine management system. A larger impeller does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The documented 360° thrust bearing distributes axial forces over a wide surface area. It helps the bearing adapt to operating stresses without making the turbocharger insensitive to lubrication or assembly faults.

The rotor is balanced at high speed, up to 150,000 rpm, on a Cimat VSR test bench. This process aims to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses in the rotating assembly.

Engine remapping and preparation

Appropriate engine management is required for to make the most of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. Map settings, boost pressure, fuel injection, exhaust and cooling must be checked or adjusted according to the modification. The wastegate must be adjusted during the ECU remapping. The clutch, the gearbox and other vehicle components must also be checked depending on the level of modification. Fitting this turbo alone does not guarantee a power increase.

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number marked on the original turbo d and compare it with the OEM and manufacturer part numbers in this datasheet. Also check the make, model, engine type 1.7 CDTI, the power output (100 hp ) and the production period (. ). An identical engine specification is not always sufficient to confirm compatibility.
